Welcome to the third SPFBO 6 reaping! It’s my turn to cut 5 of my books and announce my semi-finalist!
Cry Havoc by Mike Morris
Cry Havoc is like the best kind of popcorn reading! Edge of your seat action, explosions, powder guns, some good, bloody death scenes, and you can’t help but love Jack and Lin.
My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix
Overall, My Best Friend’s Exorcism is a highly entertaining and fast read. Sure, it has some teen drama as almost all characters are teens so that’s kinda expected, but that doesn’t mean adult readers wouldn’t enjoy the hell out of it. My Best Friend’s Exorcism ultimately makes one think about the nature of real friendship. Something all of us need some lessons about.
Cradle of Sea and Soil by Bernie Anés Paz
For anyone skeptic of the boundless heights self-published fantasy can reach, it’s books like Cradle of Sea and Soil that shatter doubts and teach us that all stories are worth taking a chance on.
SPFBO 6 The Reaping – Belle
Welcome to the second SPFBO 6 reaping! Belle is here to cut 5 of her books and announce her semi-finalist!
The Living End by Craig Schaefer
The Living End lives up to its predecessors, and then takes things to a higher level. The break neck pace, the characters, the stakes are going to drive your adrenaline level up and make you want more. The Daniel Faust series gets better by each book and I’m so here for the rest. It’s a must read for any UF lover out there. Beware, it’s highly addictive!
A Girl Made of Air by Nydia Hetherington
Nydia Hetherington’s A Girl Made of Air is a thought provoking debut, one that’s hard to put in a box or even describe. It needs a specific frame of mind to really enjoy and appreciate the complexity of the characters and the beauty of the writing. It definitely won’t be for everyone and that’s fine. I still urge you to give it a go if you like circus settings and a story about walking on a tight rope. Sometimes literally.
SPFBO 6 The Reaping – Jen
Welcome to the first SPFBO 6 reaping! Jen is here to cut 5 of her books and announce her semi-finalist!
Talking as Fast as I Can by Lauren Graham
Talking as Fast as I Can brings back nostalgic feelings toward Gilmore Girls. It gives a glimpse into the hardships of being an actress, but it lacks the depth I was hoping for.
I, Exile by David M. Samuels
Fast paced, lots of atmosphere and cool magic (phylacteries, got to love it) sprinkle that with lots of fun fights with creepy creature monsters – always my favourite when it comes to action adventure type stories, it’s worth checking out.
